Selection criteria for outpatient group psychotherapy. Academic Article uri icon

Overview

abstract

  • A tentative set of selection criteria for referral to outpatient group psychotherapy is outlined. The criteria do not distinguish between different schools of therapy but are organized around indications for referral to heterogeneous and homogeneous groups. Noting that the most common and difficult differential therapeutic decision is choosing between heterogeneous group treatment an individual therapy, or selecting some combination of both, the authors also discuss factors to be considered in making that determination.
